Handling "@" character in different code pages in mainframes.
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 11:35 pm
Hi,
One of our other teams where I'm not directly involved has got a problem with the "@" character using in then email-IDs.
I might get murky in my explanation however please bear with me and I'll to add on as and when required.
Three things involved in the problem - mainframe, Rumba emulator and Database DB2. DB2 has got interface with green screen and Web (Java) as well. DB2 resides on mainframe and is a centralized database, that is this data can be fetched from many geographical locations. When data is entered using the web-interface and an email is entered with "@" and fetched back in ENEA region it comes out as "§" (section sign) which is not acceptable, obviously.
I understand that this can be worked upon by the correct code pages but what to if the data is being fetched from a centralized database?
